hi all

great site, first post.

after doing some research I found this coin to be a coin of the knights templer.

my brother found it on the street.

anyone hazard a guess of what something like this is worth?

Identified-But-Not-Priced


top side says....

Non nobis domine non nobis sed nomini tuo da glorium."

Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory

Specifically, this is the opening sentence to Psalm 115. The adverb "non" means "not." The personal
pronoun "nobis" means "to us." The noun "domine" means "Lord." The conjunction "sed" means "but." The noun "nomini" means
"name." The possessive adjective "tuo" means "your." The verb "da" means "give." The noun "glorium" means "glory."


bottom side says....

sigillvm militvm xpisti =

"Sigillum" means seal, "militum" means soldiers or army, and I believe "Xpisti" is one spelling of the Latin name of Christ.
So if I am reading this right, "Sigillum Militum Xpisti" would mean "The Seal of the Army of Christ" (appropriate, since I believe the
phrase was used mainly by the Knights Templar).


i have a George Washington coin or token too, that will be my second post coming soon!

cheers

doesn't look like a genuine coin to my very untrained eye.

Kinda guessing here. Looks like a fantasy piece. There were and are many organizations that claim to be descended from the Knights Templar. Like a membership coin. Like a Masonic Chapter Penny.

Value is what someone would pay for it. I'd buy it for $10 if it were offered to me without any other documentation.

I will check the Unusual Coins Catalog just in case.
